A Few Days Late

I know, I know. It's now January 5, 2011. I know I'm a few days late, but Happy New Year! My Christmas was fantastic - it snowed practically the entire time we were in the mountains and it was beautiful. 

I've seen plenty of snow in my lifetime, but this was my first White Christmas. I managed to eat a ton of food on my hiatus, from dozens of fried oysters, prime rib and creme brulee to multiple Chick-fil-a chicken sandwiches, fresh hummus and lots of cookies. I've been running 2 to 6 miles on the days I've been home in an attempt to avoid the holiday spread. Fortunately, it seems like any additional weight gain has been avoided.

As some of you know, when I moved to Northern Virginia three months ago, I had to leave my 5 year old Parsons Jack Russell behind until D and I moved into a pet-friendly building. I am extremely happy to announce that my little nugget, Audrey, has joined us in our new home.
